566 NOTES ON THE NATIVE FLORA OF NEW SOUTH WALES, viii., 



gaster Maideni Froggatt, and these galls soon cover the 

 smaller branches, and finally quite disfigure the tree. 



.4. Cuniiinyhamii is locally called Myall, but is not to be 

 confused with the Myall of the western districts (.4. pendula). 

 A little occurs a few miles south-easterly from Yerranderie, 

 on felsite, but an abundance may be seen on the slope to the 

 Kowmung around the head of Cedar Creek, on the Devonian 

 formation. This species very closely resembles A. glaucesrcna 

 of the Nepean and George's Rivers, but has more angular 

 branchlets, and although chiefly a northern species, is com- 

 mon at Tolwong, on the steep slopes of the Shoalhaven River. 



A species of Acacia (Nos. 2188, and 2300) somewhat resembling 

 A. adunca A. Cunn., was found just on top of Byrnes' Gap (2,000 

 feet) on Permo-Carboniferous formation, and is the species. 

 No. 1622, referred to by me from Torrington, near Deep- 

 water, and then not indentified. (These Proceedings, 1908, 

 p. 53). At Byrnes' Gap it grows about 6-8 feet high, with 

 reddish, angular branchlets, and linear, one-nerved phyl- 

 lodia, having sometimes recurved, and at others, straight 

 points. On 7th June, 1909, it was opening into flower ; and, 

 on 7th October, young, long, narrow pods had formed. As 

 seen growing, it somewhat resembles A. retinodes Schlecht., 

 of South Australia and Victoria.* 



A species of Acacia (No. 2296) is growing abundantly with 

 A. Cunninghamii, on Devonian quartzite, and Silurian slate 

 around the head of Cedar Creek, and extending down to- 

 wards the Kowmung, between altitudes of 1,100 and 2,000 

 feet. It has the facies of ,4 . proiiiinetis, with phyllodia up 

 to about H inches long, 2-3 lines broad, often with hooked 

 tips, but the one marginal gland is much less prominent 

 than in A . prominens. Its tomentose phyllodia give the 

 plants a somewhat greyish appearance in the forest. In 

 June, it was not in bud, and the specimens then collected 



* Ripe pods were obtained in December, 1911, l)iit the species lias not 

 been identified. [Pontcript, added Jan, J?/h, 19 IS.]
